Leveling Up in Love: Utilize the Five Love Languages
Newsletter #11
Most people are pretty familiar with the idea of ‘love languages’, described by Gary Chapman.
Just in case you need a quick refresh, they are:
- Physical touch
- Words of affirmation
- Acts of service
- Gifts
- Quality time
remember to love others in their love language too
One of the biggest missteps I see though, when I work with people on relationships is that they tend to love their partner / significant other/s in THEIR love language, not the other persons.
It totally makes sense, I get it.
If gifts light you up, then it makes sense that you want to show love by giving beautiful, thoughtful or glorious gifts. And whilst that can be incredibly thoughtful and generous (like who doesn’t love gifts?!?!), if your partner’s love language is physical touch and you REALLY want to connect with them, then you need to remember to love them in their love language too.
The moral of the story, whilst touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts and quality time are ALL special, try to take some time to work out what your love language is AND what your partners is.
There are loads of quick quizzes and free images online that you can use to work it out, or if you’re really invested you can read the whole book (but you definitely don’t need to for this exercise).
Identify both your love language AND your partners
My challenge to you this week is to do one thing for someone you love in THEIR love language and see what the impact is.
Share this newsletter with someone you care about so they too can level up.
Have a great week,
